I mean when you devote 3 years to develope a game that is a sequel to one of the most popular games of all time you would figure that said sequel would have a little more depth. With all of the negative response I wouldn't be surprised if you see used copies by the truckload stacked up at your local game retailer.

This is one of the most unoriginal shallow games I have played in a long time. For one thing, haven't they been showcasing how this game is supposed to take place on earth? Two levels at the beggining of the game and then it's off to another halo. The whole game is basically a repeat of the first one with the same boring loops and a couple of new aliens thrown in. The first Halo started to become very redundant towards the end but it still was an enjoyable game because the story kept it going. In Halo 2 there really is no story, except you have to fight the same aliens again and do the same exact thing you had to do in the first game.

I am playing multiplayer with friends and it's ok, but I buy games usually for the single player and boy was this a big letdown.

And the ending? There is no ending, the game ends and you just sit there wondering why you just played this game.

First Doom 3 and now Halo 2, can't wait for Half Life 2.


PS- They spent all that time on the E3 demo where you are on earth fighting the aliens and none of that happens in the game. I think they probably tried to make this game too big and ended up scrapping a bunch of ideas.
You buy games just for SP well thats your first problem. What keeps games alive now-a-days? MP. The sp is good, better graphics, did you do it on easy or legendary? Since the ending is the way there is, there will probably more likely to be a Halo 3. If you payed some detail to the E3 part and the game part some of the real game is part of the e3 but different parts still the same area still the same road.

And repeat of the last? I dont really see any repeat, only thing is that you go on another halo ring. but meh, still a good story I thought and a good game.

Halo 1 is better then halo 2. Except the muiltplayer.
I'd rather play halo 1 co-op then halo 2 co-op. But it's a nice change.

I have a ps2. I like my ps2, better then a xbox. But, i played this game at a friends house, and it makes me want an xbox...bad. This game is fun as fuck, I played with 3 other guys MP. Amazing times.

The single player story is a load of crap, and It did dissapoint me, BUT, the gameplay is still increadibly topnotch, especially on the harder difficulties. The level design does get repetitive, but every time you play through a section, the enimies do something different. There is a lot of variety, mabey not in the levels, but in the gameplay, where it counts, there is more than enough variety.

And the multiplayer on X-Box live is absoulutely awesome. It is addictive. It is great. The best multiplayer game I have ever played.

Whether you liked it or not, I think Halo 2 was a good decision for microsoft, how many copies were sold befor it even released?? (preorders) The game's success was garunteed before it even shiped. Garunteed money=Good business decision.


P.S. Wow, its amazing how opinionated nearly everyone is on these boards....

I thought doom 3 was the best single player experince in a long time :(.

Don't see why single player seems to be overlooked by people, a lot of the big gameplay innovations start in single player, the way halflife 2 has physics as such an integral part of the gameplay being one big innovation.

Jin-Roh 11-13-2004 03:33 PM
Multiplayer > Singleplayer

You all think Singplayer sucks because you don't use your fuckin imagination. Pretend you are from the future and you are one luberleet soldier from Canada.

Wrestling is so fucking retarded.

Halo 2 multiplayer seems decent, pity it seems to be packed with the oOo: crew. Yet to find a server that hasn't got morons running about teamkilling with rockets or running teammates over with vehicles etc. Good thing about it being on live is you're pretty much guaranteed noones looking through walls etc, probably the only real thing online console fps games have over their pc counterparts.

oOo:

Cod was all scripted as was doom. Doom 3 was always meant to be a semi retelling of the original doom with more of a horror theme to it, the revoloutionary thing about doom 3 was its engine and lighting\shadowing effects. There was nothing new in cod that hasn't been done before.

Single player isn't bad, does have its stupid moments though. Your squad ai will seem to oOo: out now and again and stay in one place while you go take on 50 or so japs, funny thing is you can actually hear your squad shouting like theyre in the battle when theyre a few hundred feet behind you hiding behind a hill or something. oOo:

Medic seems like somewhat of a tard as well, he usually does heal you but thers times ive been standing calling him and he just refuses to come anywhere near me, this is when theres no enemies around. eek:


This was an interesting moment as well:

[img]http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gerald.marley/pa/wire.jpg[/img]

Yup, they ran through that wire, i had to use noclip to get by so i could continue with the game. oOo:


Weapons look good but fel pretty weak, like 5 carbine rounds to kill a jap and it seems to take about the same from a tommygun to down an enemy.

You can't use fsaa or anisotropic filtering either, the game uses some kind of effect called "blooming" so that basically disables any kind of filtering.

Game does have some nice graphics though, would be even better with antialiasing.

Im not gonna bother with halo multi till i get the mouse\keyboard adaptor anyway, no enjoyment playing with a controller for me, just seems redundant.

Not much point playing if im not gona have fun because of the controls, i can tolerate them for sp, but multiplayer has a lot more bouncing around, gets annoying to be fumbling around a controller.

May be a console but theres no denying the choice for better controls is there, why not take advantage of it. And just so ya know, halo online incorperates autoaim so you dont have to be that accurate to get kills anyway.

Personally, on a scale of 1-10 i would have given this game a 9. I mean music was very good, action was extremely solid helped by duel wielding and new weapons including energy swords, i think the fact that they let you play as a covie elite is pretty cool. All in all, it didnt quite meet my standards, but few sequels of extremely good games ever do. Xbox live is awesome, and i havent gotten to play with my friends yet, but when i do co-op mode will be a definite priority, adding to replay. Anyway, about the story, this is basically a shoot-em-up game. I mean if you think about it, halo didnt have a great story either. It was the gameplay that sucked us all in. If you want a game with a good story, buy kotor 2 when it comes out.
